THE MAROON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2006 VOL 85, NO. 10 WWW.LOYOLAMAROON.COM Alpha Delta Gamma fraternity springs back By ALETHIA PICCIOLA THE MAROON When the Epsilon Chapter of the Alpha Delta Gamma Fraternity had their charter revoked by the Student Government Association last spring for violating rush rules, no one expected them to return to Loyola's campus any time soon. No one except for the ADGs, that is. Now, less than a year later, things look favorable for ADG, as they have convinced many that they have changed and that SGA should reinstate them on campus at their hearing in December. When SGA revoked their charter, all ADG privileges were taken away, including the right to wear their jerseys on campus and host any events related to the fraternity. For a while, the fraternity resorted to wearing jerseys that said "AmDG," which stands for "Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam." This is the Latin version of the Society of Jesus' motto, "For the Greater Glory of God." On top of having their privileges revoked, the ADG fraternity house, which had been theirs since 1976, burned down in January. But the ADGs have tried to turn their bad luck and reputation around with a fresh start With no adviser, no house and no fraternity privileges, they started to reconstruct the fraternity from scratch. The brothers devised a step-by-step plan to slowly regain each privilege that was lost As of now, the ADGs have gained back all their privileges except being officially reinstated on campus. They can now use the ADG name in intramural sports, wear their ADG jerseys and sponsor events on campus. The plan to achieve reinstatement includes set hours of community service that each brother must complete, such as cleaning trash every Thursday on Broadway and Freret streets where their burned out house stands. The fraternity has completed more than 250 hours of community service since August They are also planning a canned food drive for Thanksgiving this week.
